AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a snow removal device for vehicles that is made of flexible material and has a closed sided, concave shape. It can be easily attached to a vehicle and can remove snow from the entire surface area without scratching or damaging the vehicle's surfaces. The device has a handle that is connected to a plow member, which is made of resilient material like plastic or elastomer. The handle is long enough to easily clean the roof, front window, hood, and trunk of the vehicle without the user's hand or arm touching the snow. The plow member has a reinforced aperture that allows the user to manipulate it and remove snow from the vehicle's roof, front window, hood, and trunk without causing scratches or damage. The device can be easily stored and attached to a support rail when not in use. Overall, the invention provides a simple yet effective solution for removing snow from vehicles without causing any damage or inconvenience to the user.

Problems solved by technology

This inevitably leads to an avalanche—cold hands and snow falling into the trunk.

Also, these tools are too small and weak to remove large amounts of snow from the vehicle.

Using ice scrapers to clear large accumulations of snow results in user inevitably getting snow up his or her sleeves and having their hands freeze as a result.

Attempting to get in the trunk or cab, when it is covered in snow, usually results in snow falling into the vehicle.

However, most shovels are either made of metal or have a metal edge along their base which would inevitably cause scratching or other damage to vehicle.
